Lending

Publications are searched in the VILNIUS TECH Virtual Library, which allows you to search all resources of the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Library, the LST standards, the catalogue, subscription databases, and open-access electronic resources.

The Virtual Library can be accessed from any computerised workstation with internet access. Those browsing outside the VILNIUS TECH network must use a VPN service to read full-text electronic publications.

Issues/lending publications. All publications, including periodicals, are available for home loan. To borrow publications for home loan, please order them from the Virtual Library . In the Virtual Library, the user can also place an order for a checked-out publication by reserving it in advance. The reserved item will be kept for 3 working days, after which the reservation will be cancelled. After placing your order, please wait for the notification that your order is ready and collect it at the specified place: the Information Centre of the Central Library (1st-floor hall) or the Reading Room in the Faculty.

Publications are loaned from 1 week to 6 months, depending on demand and the number of copies available.

It is possible to check out the required publications from the Library’s open collection 24/7 using the self-service machine located in the Information Centre of the Central Library (1st-floor hall), or the publication can be issued by a member of staff (Monday through Friday, from 09:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.).

For information on the orders placed and their progress, please log in to your account in the Virtual Library or contact the Library staff.

Publications are available only for home loan to members of the VILNIUS TECH community.

In case of overdue debt, no take-home publications will be issued.
